When COVID hit we were all stuck inside for much longer than we would all like. However, for many of us, there were hidden blessings in there - somewhere - right? One of the things that happened during the pandemic is my daughter Abigail decided to pick up the Ukulele. My father had a baritone Uke he had used to sing to us and it came home to stay with us when my parents passed. However, it was pretty old and not in very good shape at all. My daughter asked for her own (and of course we more than happily obliged). My mother had also bought a classical guitar for my brother to use when he was at home. That came home with us too. I decided to try and re-string it myself and let her try it out too. It was a little big for her, and she stuck to the Uke. Since I never met an instrument I didn't like, I decided to give it a go. I love the feeling of the sound being so close to you and singing along (still getting that down) is just a music making experience like no other. I was hooked. While, I'm short on talent in this area, I thought I out out few things I enjoy doing for those of you who are guitar as much a noob as I am.
